In this inspiring episode of the IAM BABA podcast, I sit down with the remarkable Tia King, a transformational coach, entrepreneur, and single mother of three, to explore the profound connection between physical fitness, self-love, and inner healing.

Tia takes us on a deeply personal journey, sharing how fitness became the foundation for transforming her life—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. She opens up about the challenges of working out while shedding tears, the deeper meaning behind the weight we carry, and how self-worth plays a critical role in embracing a healthier lifestyle.

This conversation goes beyond lifting weights and losing pounds. Tia discusses the emotional blocks many women face, such as using weight as a protective barrier after trauma, or turning to food for comfort when love and self-acceptance feel out of reach. She shares how fitness helped her uncover her own value, learn self-compassion, and cultivate inner strength, even while raising three daughters as a single mom.

We also delve into Tia’s insights on self-love, offering practical tips on how to start loving yourself from the inside out. Whether you’re seeking inspiration for your fitness journey, struggling with self-worth, or simply looking for a story that will uplift your spirit, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways from the Episode:

*Tia emphasizes that fitness isn’t just about lifting weights or looking good—it’s a journey of emotional healing and self-discovery. The weight we carry often reflects deeper emotional struggles, such as self-worth, trauma, or loneliness.
*Many people know what to do to lose weight, but they don’t take action because they don’t feel worthy of the transformation. Tia encourages listeners to address how they feel about themselves internally to create lasting change externally.
*Tia shares how some women use their weight as a protective blanket, stemming from past traumas or fear of being seen. Fitness becomes a way to peel back those layers and rediscover their confidence.
